Welcome


Welcome

For adulthood is now what you are

Taxes

Credit

Seeking high security

For this is what you are

Trapped in wanting money

Not happiest

For happinest pays little

So does helping others

But helping yourself pays high

Why is that?

Why is helping others cost you your livelihood?

When is reality it should be helping others

Helping others is what humanity is about

Yet we have forgotten

Forgotten what humanity means

All we do is check our phones and not care

I want to care

Where has humanity gone?
